How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 311

Watts flashed a genial smile and glanced at her before finally greeting Alexander.

Alexander shook his hand, looking genuinely surprised. "What are the odds? We're seated together."

Watts simply nodded, his expression unreadable, tapping his fingers lightly on the place card with his name on it. "Seems like fate, doesn't it?"

In truth, he'd already arranged for one of the staff to swap out the name cards up front.

Neither Elodie nor Alexander had noticed a thing.

Elodie wasn't one for small talk. After a polite hello, she quickly drifted back into her thoughts about where to steer VistaLink Technologies next.

Watts watched her for a moment, noticing how her brows occasionally drew together in concentration, or how she absently brushed her fingers along her eyebrow. A silent, amused smile played on his lips.

He didn't interrupt.

Few people here knew him well, so he actually got a rare moment of peace.

Across the table, things were far livelier. His gaze lingered there for a second. He spotted Jarrod and Sylvie.

He knew Jarrod, of course.

As for Sylvie-he paused, then remembered seeing her at Ivan's engagement party.

That was the extent of their acquaintance.

Across from him, Sylvie caught sight of Watts too.

Her gaze lingered on him for a couple of seconds, then she nodded politely in his direction.
